Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments for compiler independent identification of application components. A procedure in a compiled binary application is identified. Then, a first compiler independent hash value for the procedure is generated, the compiler independent hash value representing a set of memory dereferences occurring in a heap, and the set of memory dereferences relying in part on a set of inputs for the procedure. Next, it is determined whether the first compiler independent hash value matches a second compiler independent hash value associated with a known procedure in a known source code file.
